2nd Snowfall of Winter 03-04

Snow began falling the wee hours of Friday (5 December) and piled up more than 2" by dawn. Snow continued throughout the day, at times perhaps mixed with rain, but the temperature hovered just above the freezing mark and the snow seemed to melt about as fast as it was falling. According to the NWS, Fort Wayne had 5" of snow, but the airport was closer to the track of the low; so I’m going to guess we had no more than 4". The snowdepth stayed fairly constant at 2-3" throughout the day. By evening, as the temperature started to dip below freezing, the precipitation ended.
As of Monday (8 December), we still have nearly 2" snow cover.
Season snowfall: 6"
